(I knew there was a good reason to sign up)Amen, brother! I bought my G22 Gen 3 new in 2003 for $930 taxes included. When I sold her earlier this year (in Exc. condition and low mileage) I let her go for $625! That's with a third NIB mag as well. Lesson: *some* things just don't retain their value as expected.

PO = police ordnance? I didn't think they dealt with the public..unless yer a cop
They deal with the public, but only with their used guns. To get the "deal" you must be/have been mil/leo/firefighter/paramedic, etc.

Average price on the net for a G17 with the standard plastic sights is $750-$800, but "local stores" are usually a lot more ($900-1K in many cases)... at least where I live
This is no different than a couple of decades ago when house prices tanked. A $400,000 house was going for $200,000 the next year and people were just walking away from their mortgages. The mortgages were more than the value of the house.
The stores would be wise to dump the overpriced stock for whatever they can get for it, take their lumps, and restock at the lower prices.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.
Agreed. I saw the same thing with computer memory many years ago. Some stores bought alot so that they could meet their customer's demand but many customer's balked at the prices and waited for the prices to go down. Because the industry was so competitive most stores had to lower their prices even if it meant selling at a loss. This type of scenario really hurt the little guys. Same thing here I sure this will hurt the little gun shops and the unlucky consumers like myself who paid top dollars for their Glocks. The upside to all this is that I don't intend to sell my Glocks and if/when I do they will be almost worn out so I won't mind selling them for cheap.
